Passport campaign encourages local shopping Saturday

The Barry County Chamber of Commerce is hosting it second Small Business Saturday Passport program Nov. 30.

Not only are many businesses offering special prices, products and services, shoppers who purchase items or dine at a minimum number of businesses will be eligible for prize drawings.

Each community will have a separate prize package and minimum number of passport stamps. To be eligible, shoppers must dine at or purchase items from at least five Delton-area participants for the Delton drawing, two for the Gun Lake-area drawing, five in Hastings, three in Middleville and at least four in Nashville.

To be eligible for the grand prize drawing (which last year was valued at $1,300), shoppers must patronize at least two participating businesses in each community or at least 10 participating businesses in the county.

Additional information can be found on the chamber website, mibarry.com. Passports are available at participating businesses. The following businesses are taking part in the local passport incentive:
